WT High, Tahoka to meet in softball

District 1-2A champion West Texas High starts its softball postseason journey today when it takes on Tahoka in a one-game area-round playoff.

The Lady Comanches (17-5) play Tahoka at 6:30 p.m. at Canyon's Lady Eagle Field. The winner advances to play Sanford-Fritch next week in the regional quarterfinals.

Both teams are coming off long breaks because of playoff byes. WT High had a bye because it won its district. Tahoka, the runner-up in District 4, got a bye in bidistrict because District 3-2A is an empty softball district.

Sanford-Fritch is matched up against 3-2A in this round, so it gets a bye to the next round.
